Anglo American Corporation Reaffirms Investment in Zambia’s Mining Sector 

Zambia’s mining sector is set to receive a significant boost as Anglo American Corporation, led by CEO Duncan Wanblad, has expressed renewed interest in investing in the country’s thriving copper industry. 

This comes nearly 20 years after the company’s initial exit, underscoring the strong potential Zambia’s mining sector holds.

During the delegation’s visit, President Hakainde Hichilema welcomed the partnership, emphasizing the country’s goal of reaching a 3 million tons annual copper production target. 

“To achieve this ambitious target, we need to form strategic partnerships with reputable companies like Anglo American Corporation,” said Hichilema, highlighting the importance of collaboration in unlocking Zambia’s mining potential.

The President also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to creating an investment-friendly environment, one that benefits the local population and accelerates economic growth. 

“A win-win investment climate relies on continuous dialogue around policy and legal frameworks. We are working with the Chamber of Mines to ensure Zambia remains a competitive and attractive investment destination,” Hichilema added.
